 Description   

I've downloaded the latest driver for MongoDB.Driver.GridFS and for some reason the MongoGridFS class is not available to be used.  Am I doing something wrong?  Attached is a screenshot of what I'm seeing.  Please note the absence of the MongoGridFS class.

There is also a Nuget package that for the time being continues to support the Legacy 1.x API re-implemented on top of the 2.x API:

https://www.nuget.org/packages/mongocsharpdriver/

But the right long term solution is to convert to the current API.

Are you upgrading from an older version of the driver? The MongoGridFS class is part of the legacy API that was used in the 1.x versions of the driver.

In the 2.x versions of the driver there is a new GridFS API, which is documented here:

I've created a sample project so you can download.  Hopefully that helps illustrate what I'm seeing:
